Exactly and since you have little experience with them,you don't know what they can do.I use only 140gr bullets in my 7mmstw's and most of my friends use 140gr bullets in their 7mmrem mags.With many moose and elk taken we have found that they work very well.

After I witnessed the scenario I described in my third post, I have no desire to hunt medium game, and up with little 7mm 140 gr. bullets. I have more respect for the animals I hunt. Good luck.

Thanx for your opinions. I have the 140 gr failsafes, partitions, accubonds. I will work up a load and whatever one is more accurate that is what I will use.

I have good results with 79-grains of IMR-7828, Federal 215 Primers & 140-grain Nosler Partitions.

I hope you like replacing your barrels...solid copper isnt the answer. I've been using Nosler Partitions now for 23 years on elk, and NEVER had 1 go over 50 yds. Maybe "your friend" should have spent a little more time at the range!

sounds great if your hunting saturated phone books

Every Partition I have ever pulled from an elk carcass has done exactly what it was designed to do . They retain around 60-62% of their mass everytime and drive threw bone and into the vitals. I am skeptical of so solid bullets that put pin holes through deer and elk.
Nosler should call them NO-FAILS
